It is composed of a rotary encoder and the like, and even if the main power supply of the apparatus is off, the electric power for the microcomputer 22 itself is supplied by a dry battery and the key input of the input means 14 can be detected.

FIG. 9 shows the functions of the control means 4, the time counting means 8, the timer reservation setting means 9, the timer time content storage means 10, the main power supply control means 16 and the power supply state determination means 17 of the conventional audio apparatus, which are provided by the microcomputer 13 7 is a flowchart showing the processing operation of the microcomputer configured as described above. The operation of the conventional example will be described with reference to FIG.

First, it is assumed that the power supply of the apparatus is turned on and the memory elements and the like inside the microcomputer are initialized.

Reference numerals 101 and 122 denote connectors, and the program shown in FIG. 9 is incorporated in the main program of the microcomputer 13.

First, at step 102, it is judged whether or not the timer operation reservation setting is completed.
If ES, the process proceeds to step 123, and if NO, the process proceeds to step 103. In step 103, it is determined whether or not the power source of the audio device is turned on, and if the power source is not turned on, control of various functions and timer reservation setting operation are prevented. If the power is on, the process proceeds to step 104. In step 104, necessary control is performed on the various functional means of the plurality of functional means 15, the signal selecting means 18, etc., and the output of the acoustic signal is obtained at the output means 22, and the function of the plurality of functional means 15 is selected. The display means 6 is operated so as to obtain an indication as to whether or not the means is selected. By this step 104, when the apparatus is in the operating state, the display as shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, the radio receiving means 3 is selected from among the plurality of functional means 15 and F
It is a display example when an 88.1 MHz broadcast of the M band is received. In contrast to the display of FIG. 4, the display when the power is off in step 103 is as shown in FIG. 5, and the current time is displayed.

Now, the process proceeds from step 104 to step 107. (While steps 107 to 116 are the processes for realizing the process of setting the timer operation), at step 107, the timer operation start time (timer on time) and the timer operation are set. End time (timer off time)
Judge whether the setting of the timer operation time of is completed. N
If it is O, the timer operation time is reserved and stored in step 108. Actually, the time change key and the time setting key (not shown) in the input means 14 are operated to set the timer operation time, It is stored in a memory element in the computer 13. Next, in step 109, if the timer reservation operation key input is input by the input means 14, it is determined in steps 109 and 111, and the operation at the timer operation time is only reproduction of the functional means of 1 to 3 or recording / reproduction. It is set whether the means 1 is to be recorded. If the reservation setting of the reproduction timer is made, the display of "TIMER" is displayed on the display means 6 at step 110, and if the reservation setting of the recording timer is made, "TIMER-REC" is displayed on the display means 6 at step 112. Next, at step 113, the function for which the timer operation is desired, that is, when the time comes, the radio receiving means 3 receives radio and the recording / reproducing means 1 records the radio reception signal which is the output signal of the signal selecting means 18. The information is reserved by storing the currently operating mode. Here, in order to select any one of the recording / reproducing means 1, the optical disk reproducing means 2 and the radio receiving means 3, the switches (not shown) of the input means 14 are operated and the signal selecting means 18 is operated. The user can confirm the output signal from the output sound from the output means 22 such as a speaker or a headphone through the amplifier 21, and the operating function means is stored in the memory element in the microcomputer 13 in step 113.

Next, at step 114, a flag indicating that the timer reservation setting is completed is set, and if the condition determination at step 102 is proceeded to, a YES determination is made from the next time. Next, in step 115, the power is turned off and in step 116, the clock time is displayed. The display at this time is as shown in FIG.
The display shows "REC" or "TIMER" and the clock.

From step 117, judgment processing after completion of timer reservation setting is started. First, in step 117, it is judged whether or not the current time is the timer operation start time, and if YES is judged here, the routine proceeds to step 118. Then, the power is turned on and the timer operation is started in step 119. Next, the process proceeds to step 120, and when the current time becomes equal to the timer OFF time, the process proceeds to step 121, the timer operation is terminated, the power of the apparatus is turned off, and the process proceeds to the connector 122. 12 even if NO is determined in step 120
Go to the connector of 2 and return to the main program.

Next, if YES is determined in the step 102, the process proceeds to a step 123 and it is determined whether or not the power source is ON. When the power is off, the process proceeds to step 117 and the power is turned on.
If N, go to step 124. In step 124, it is judged whether or not there is an operation input of a key input (not shown) requesting the timer check display of the input means 14, and if there is, a timer operation time shown in FIG. At 126, the timer operation content (FM timer recording) shown in FIG. 12 is displayed for a certain period of time. Then, in step 127, the original clock display shown in FIG. 5 is returned to.

Next, the process proceeds to step 117, and step 1
If both 17 and step 120 are determined to be NO, that is, if the timer reservation setting is completed but neither the timer operation start time nor the timer operation end time is reached, the process proceeds to the connector of step 122 and the main program. Return to.

The functions of the timer reservation setting means 9 in steps 107 to 116 are changed to steps 108 and 1.
13, the function of the timer time content storage means 10, the function of the main power supply control means 16 in steps 115, 118 and 121, the function of the power supply state determination means 17 in steps 103 and 123, and the steps 102 and 104. And steps 117-121 and step 124-
The function of the control means 4 is realized by 127. The function of the time counting means 8 is assumed to be realized by the main program of the microcomputer, and the description will be omitted.

[0016]

However, in the conventional audio apparatus as described above, when the timer reservation is set, the previously set operation time cannot be confirmed at the same time.
When the clock display of the device is 24 hours system and the program guide such as FM radio that operates the timer recording is 12 hours system, the timer reservation setting time is wrongly set, or only the display is confirmed visually. It was very inconvenient because I missed the important timer recording by mistakenly looking at it.

In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention notifies the user of the timer operation time and the timer operation contents by displaying and voice when making a timer reservation with an audio device having a timer operation function, and after setting the timer. The purpose is to provide a very easy-to-use audio device, such as not being able to confirm with the display and voice even when confirming, and giving a 12-hour system by voice even if the clock display is 24-hour system. It is a thing.
